Training enables us to become valuable partners with the Coast Guard helping them meet mission objectives. Also, we meet our commitment to being of service not only to the maritime community but the community as a whole. The Training Directorate is committed to providing the best training available, economically, utilizing the latest techniques in multimedia, online delivery of materials, online distance learning, and online self and proctored testing. Available to members are presentations, videos, instructional guides and online classrooms that cover the skills, interests, and qualifications that our members desire or need to have. Directorate Leadership Bill Ballard Deputy Director of Training Member Training for All Auxiliarists in All Disciplines Member Training includes all training provided in and by the Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary for Auxiliary members. It spans the following directorates: Response, Prevention, Vessel Examination, Public Education, RBS Outreach, Public Affairs, and Training. It includes AUXOP courses, Certification Courses, Public Education Courses, Mandatory Workshops, and Mandated Training. Training sources include Manuals, Power Points, Personal Qualification Guides (PQS), Exams, or password protected online websites. It is often not clear where to look to find the training material you need or even to know what training is available and what pre-requisites are needed.

The Department is organized into seven (7) divisions: Advanced Learning, Leadership Development, Distance Learning Development, Advanced Distance Learning Management, Directorate Services, and District Liaison. Advanced Learning Division Our Advanced Training Division team, led by Mr. Kevin Conquest, focuses on the Operational Auxiliarist courses, better known as AUXOP, to ensure that the latest policies, procedures, and techniques are continually incorporated, and that the subject matter is presented accurately. This division incorporates subject matter experts (SMEs) in both writing and field-support capacities. Leadership Development Division The Leadership Division is headed by Ms. Cathie Slabaugh and is responsible to bring to you the very latest in leadership techniques, strategy, and methodology. The Division is staffed by members with years of experience in leadership.

The division also oversees the Auxiliary Online Classroom .
